Route Overview
The West Harrison Forest Service Road is one of British Columbia's iconic overland corridors, running the entire western shoreline of Harrison Lake from Sasquatch Inn staging north to Tipella and connecting onward to Sloquet Hot Springs and the In-SHUCK-ch / Lillooet River corridor.
Staging & Air-Down
Air down at the KM 0 Staging Pullout just past the Weaver Creek Spawning Channel turnoff (49.3038, -121.9462). Dropping to 20–22 PSI dramatically smooths out the relentless potholes between Twenty Mile Bay and Hale Creek.
Key Sections
- KM 0 – KM 16: Winding shelf climbs above Chehalis & Harrison Lake. Steep loose climb at KM 14 often catches 2WD vehicles spinning.
- KM 16 – KM 45: Passes Twenty Mile Bay, Grace Lake spur, and Hale Creek Shelter.
- KM 62 – KM 86: Remote northern reach past Port Douglas/Tipella toward Sloquet Creek.
GPS Waypoints, Staging & Hazard Pins (2)
Wide gravel staging shoulder. Switch VHF radio to RR-7 / 150.260 MHz and air down to 18–22 PSI.
Check snowline, cross-ditches, and oncoming resource traffic before proceeding.

Drove West Harrison FSR to Tipella & Sloquet Hot Springs yesterday. Radio callouts on RR-7 / 150.260 MHz were active. Waterbars above mid-mountain are deep—definitely air down at the staging coordinates.
